Agreed. A Pelle upgrade should be top priority this summer, along with replacing players we lose. Not sure if that'll happen though. The downside of all these loan players in the squad is that we have to spend money to stand still.
trying to be positive - thought big Vic was very strong again - but all in all very disappointing, as soon as the goal went in - we just feared the worst
Of course. But there was an element of luck to that win. Had the ref given the pen, Pelle had taken it and had his confidence boosted, could well have been a different result. On such fine margins.... All I'm saying is that we haven't suddenly become a poor team. We've not had the rub of the green recently and, no, we haven't had the teeth, but that can turn quickly too. Peckers up please!
It will happen (the replacement players that is). We already have players in mind, I just hope we spend a lil extra on a forward.
Oh I'm confident we'll replace players that leave. I was thinking more that the striker may not happen.
Filip Djuricic admits diving twice: "The first one I feel the contact, it was light contact but I fell down. The second one was more a penalty than the first one for sure. I feel his hand on my shoulder and I fell down."
We haven't turned into a poor team we are just playing unbelievably poorly. We didn't test mignolet for the 85 mins after the crazy start. Something needs to change!
Pelle has had some mediocre games recently, but I don't see how he could have changed anything in this one. It's not like he missed a sitter. The service was poor. Elia and Mane both kept bringing the ball inside to Pelle's position so the spacing wasn't good. Remember when we were scoring earlier in the year, we were getting goals from midfielders as well. That has also dried up. We miss Bertrand, as he was a good crosser and would make a run down the outside when the wingers turned inside. Bertrand and Tadic together on the left might be able to kickstart the offense.
Of course Rodgers would say that. But I bet you could look on RAWK or whatever Liverpool forum and even all their posters would agree that they got away with one there. It was about as blatant as it gets.
And we'll need to replace a couple major players at the same time. Another busy summer to come for Ron and Les.
